THIS ALBRIGHT COACHING

Photos courtesy of Lehigh University Athletics and I’m excited to visit some new schools I’ve never been to and hopefully it gets some good wins.

Hottinger averaged 20.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game this season.

Q. You and Liza played together before college on the AAU circuit in Minnesota. What will it be like playing with her again?

I’m super excited to play with Liza (Karlen). It was nice to have her throughout this recruiting process too because you want to get it right with your fifth year, you only have one year left. So it was nice because I could trust her as a friend to tell me what her experience at Marquette was like and that made me feel confident to visit and to get on campus and really pursue it further. I’m really excited to play with her again. She’s such a great teammate and friend and supporter. I think she’ll help make me better just by being around her.

Q. How will your experience help the younger Marquette team?

Although I haven’t played in the Big East, I do have four years of college basketball under my belt. I hope to bring some leadership in terms of knowing how to communicate on the basketball floor, knowing how to work hard and being able to bring my experience to push other people and to push myself.

Q. How will your three level scoring ability help Marquette?

I hope that can help stretch the floor a little bit for Marquette and help bring a little bit of a versatile and agile post presence to them, which I think can be hard to guard at times. If you had to sum up your game for Marquette fans, what should they be excited about when watching you play?

I’m a hard worker. I will do anything to get boards around the floor and I bring versatility around the basket and some finishing ability that could help us all as a team.

Q. What do you want to accomplish as a Golden Eagle?

I’d love to help the team win. I would love to grow as a player and a person while also be able to be on a team where we’re winning and celebrating each other as teammates.
